It's not a "comfort-first" model – it's a style-first icon. The break-in period is real. Also, the toe box creases... but that's part of the charm, right? Just know what you're signing up for with this Jordan series classic. Comparing it to my other Jordans... it's lighter than a Mid, & obviously more low-profile than a High. The SE version's details—like that stitched overlay—make it feel more special than a GR low. For $110, you're getting more design interest than the basic $100 model, which I appreciate. Now, a potential con? The break-in period. The heel collar can be a bit stiff initially, and - as I mentioned - the cushioning isn't super soft. If you're used to Ultra Boosts or React foam, this will feel very different (and firmer). It's not a "comfort-first" performance shoe; it's a style-first icon. That's just the nature of the AJ1 design, honestly. So, wrapping up – would I cop? Yeah, I'm keeping these. They fill that "go-to neutral sneaker" role perfectly. They look great on camera and in person. Just know what you're getting: a style-first, heritage-driven shoe. Don't expect revolutionary comfort, but do expect tons of compliments and wears.
